A first time for me...

[73smallblock]

And probably the only time it will ever happen for me. First round of eliminations .0000 reaction time. Took 8 mph out of it because I was so far out. Car seemed like it was on a pass that round even though the 60' was slow.

One of many to come over your years of racing hopefully. Although most of them will come during time trials. Not a winning pass like that.

I assume you got the bye in the next round.

Yes, and actually had an odd number of cars.

I heard the .0000 R/T get announced but was in my trailer and didn’t see who laid it down.

That’s awesome, very hard to do. Happy to see it was a local guy on FABO. Keep it up!

Question, on previous version of accutime, when getting a .0000 reaction time, the tree would just hold the yellow light, no red, no green. It was a dead giveaway of your reaction time.

Thanks. Unfortunately that was my last time out for a while. Bought a new house and have to get it ready to move in, then move and sell our current house.

I couldn't answer if it still does that or not. I don't think it does with tru start.

I hope it has a nice garage. While house hunting back in 1983 I told my then girlfriend the area I wanted to live in and told her a minimum of a two car garage. Damn if I didn’t see a sign while out looking at a couple houses and followed them to a house built on hilly property with a one car garage. Yep I fell in love and I’m still there. Took till 1991 to build a 36-28 shop. Still love it and the area but I do cuss myself out once in awhile.

Unfortunately the only garage is under the house, but is has 1.6 acres to build a garage on.

Sounds like my situation. Single car 31 foot deep house garage and 2 acres. Dad and I upped the electrical service to a 200 amp and sent 100 amp 100 feet to my shop when I had it built. Farm behind my house and another farm up most of the side. Good luck with your move.

Thanks John. I don't think you can run power from you house to a detached garage anymore. They want it's own service and charge you commercial rate for the power to it.

Ya I’m very fortunate out here. Five miles down the road I wouldn’t be allowed to change my own water heater.

Is that Duquesne Light or West Penn, the latter always gave You a max of 2 entrances with residential service, as long as there's no 3-phase involved etc.

 

[pittsburghracer]

I ran gas, electric, telephone, and water underground. If I did it today I would have cable and internet. Lol

Nice!!! Mopar Nite in the early '90's, My buddy Mike cut a perfect lite in his '67 GT 340 4spd., then My buddy Denny cut one in His '73 360 Duster, & later I cut a .002 in the Killer6.....good nite for Us at the tree!!

West Penn

Great, unless they changed policies, but last time I checked they still gave the 2 entrances per residential service.

At the time, the timing system was based on the ".500 interval" system, so the tickets read .500, .500, & .502 & not sure when Keystone-PRP-Keystone made changes. Haven't been there in almost 20 years...
